Entire Northeast not disturbed: Lakhera

Aizawl, Mizoram Governor Lt Gen. (rtd) Lakhera today reiterated that the entire Northeast region was not disturbed as most of the mainland Indians considered.
People from outside the region are reluctant to visit NE as they think it is entirely an insurgency-torn area, which is a misconception, he said speaking at the inauguration of a two-day national seminar on ‘the dynamics of culture, society and identity: emerging literatures of Northeast India’ jointly organised by the Mizoram University and the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla.
Lakhera said it was an opportunity for the seminar participants from central India to witness that Mizoram stands out as an island of peace in the sea of insurgency.
He also underlined that NE people have their own problems different from those of the central Indians and hoped to end such concerns in near future.
